Possible protocol to treat lupus nephritis shown effective

January 21, 2014

An advanced online version in the scientific journal Autoimmunity Reviews presents a new treatment regimen for lupus nephritis researched by the Autoimmune Diseases Group at the BioCruces Health Research Institute. This new protocol uses a significantly lower dosage of prednisone than the current standard of care. The results show that this protocol at least equaled the efficacy of standard treatment with fewer side effects.
